This black-and-white lithograph advertises a run at the Heumann Harlem Casino, opening Saturday, May 4th, with Svedrofsky and his orchestra, billed as coming from the Metropolitan Opera House and performing every evening. Printed in 1907 by The Courier Co. of Buffalo, with the lithography credited to Thall & Kennedy, it shows how theater and music posters of the period used bold lettering to pull in passersby. Its billing of a musician with a major opera house signals the prestige that concert and dance entertainment carried in the city's uptown venues at the time.
